Engine Bay Colour Coding

[breo1984]

Hi All,

Ive read some threads on here showing pics of some great engine bays. mine is standard at the mo with the exception of an IK and Blue Hoses.
I want to colour code my whole engine bay in the same sort of blue but have no idea on how to do it!
does anyone have any tips and or some pics of your engine bays(in blue if possible) would be great.

Cheers

andy just throws me the bits and tells me to sort them when i can, then i spray them for him.

he's got two yellow renault badges he can fit on the front. one broom yellow, the other liquid yellow depending on his mood lmao :approve:

I want to do that to mine, although wouldn't even know where to begin!

 

[JPW172]

heres some quick pictures of mine...yes i know its red..lol

^^^how easy was it to paint your engine?

 

[adamRS]

Timsclio172 - looks great. Is it not a pain to keep the inlet chamber shiney? Or has it got a heat resistant laquer on it?

 

[breo1984]

So how easy is it to paint the engine/cover? is there somewhere that sales these rather than me doing it myself(how lazy is that)

 

[caymanr26]

stays shiny pretty well without any protection - occasional dose of metal polish and all blemishes disappear again. Usually give it a quick wipe with a damp chamoix leather and all is good - havent polished it for a few months now and still looks that shiny

 

[caymanr26]

Hill Power do them - they did mine - also one of the lads on here will do it for you what ever colour you like - pm him - his user name is Middo

 

[breo1984]

ive looked at hillpower, i can only see things on here for 172's. do they do 182's too?

 

[miltage2]

any other co's doengine covers for the 182??

 

[caymanr26]

they are exactly the same lol! the only difference in your 182 to my 172 engine wise is you have a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold - everything hill power sells for a 172 he sells for a 182 too - website just needs updating

 

[breo1984]

cheers tim, im not too bright! lol

where did you get all the chrome bits from like the lift eye and suspension struts

 

[caymanr26]

I had the lift eye chromed and the strut tops are from Hill Power.

how did you put the Apiro Wire covers on did you undo the pipes and slide them on

 

[caymanr26]

they have a slit running along the edge so you just slide them over whilst they are on the car. Easiest mod you can do!
